The Nature Observer News, a natural history journal about western Pennsylvania, ran from 1992 through 2005. It informed and entertained naturalists and nature enthusiasts with news, sightings and stories. Each issue contained an almanac, readers’ observations, a monthly phenology and a calendar of events. There was also a column of satire and humor by Will Trout. The Nature Observer News had a loyal and an enthusiastic following. They insist there is a huge void in its absence. At the urging of the readers, I’ve created an on-line version, The Nature Observer’s Journal.  The latest entries on the Nature Observer’s Journal are: Face to Face with the Unseen Evil (posted January 25, 2012)  Barn Owl (posted January 18, 2012)   Screamer (posted January 11, 2012) You can tell - it’s in the pellets (posted January 10, 2012)  The Anchovy Patrol (posted January 3, 2012) The Coolest Owl Pellet Ever (posted December 31, 2011) A photo gallery of Florida Birds,  a Photographic Migration calendar for western Pennsylvania,  and Waterfowl: ducks, geese and swans. Look for charts, tables, checklists and study guides in the Nature Notes series. Please attend one of the Nature Observer’s outings or programs.  Periodically, Will Trout will add another chapter to the Dimsdale Chronicles, his serialized account of his hometown. Check out Will’s blog for his other work. Check the Nature Observer’s Journal often. If you have any comments or questions, please contact me.
